Applications for LCTI’s future educators program for 2026-27 are now being accepted. The intensive, dual-enrollment program provides students with an opportunity to earn 14 tuition-free credits toward a bachelor’s degree during their senior year of high school. Students will observe and engage in public schools across the Lehigh Valley. Learning to develop and then deliver lessons in K-12 classrooms is part of the program curriculum. Students also have opportunities to step out of the classroom and into less traditional learning spaces.

LCCC courses are built around high school schedules.

Submit an application before the March 1 deadline.
